Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

Plan and execute?

We have corporate making quick decisions that are not rolled out well and the stores have to try and make sense of it all. Don’t tell me that it’s just reactions to market conditions.

Stores are told to plan, have great routines and execute to a high standard. We flex for brand walks to cover all the mistakes in ordering etc. Store conversion conversion conversion.

If we know every holiday should have a sale to bring customers in, why wasn’t it planned well? Why so many cr---y products on sale?

Is it because we need to show sales to attract investors? Or bring up eps? To prop up the falling share price?

Is it because we have so many stale products in back rooms we can’t otherwise move?

How can execution be great when hours were added days before the event? Hours have been cut for a couple months. People just don’t get hired and trained overnight. We won’t have hours to support the extra people needed this week going forward.

Just makes you think….. Hmmm

When you don’t do it right at BBBY, you are too lazy and stupid worker! When your BBBY CEO or top leaders don’t do it right, they are too busy to fix the broken plan and still in BBBY business meeting all day!

These are the workings of the d-mbest group of leaders we have ever seen! They pat themselves on the back tell each other how great and superior they are to the ones in the trenches, running stores with little to no staffing no merchandise and a roll out every other day before the one before that has failed! On staffing what will it take an associate to get hurt? Realize you are putting their safety in jeopardy.
You can run this down to the out of touch RVP RMS DMS who work from home or who are just home! Wake up before there is no BEd Bath Beyond

i picture a group of people that rarely talk to each other, who all have vastly different opinions and strategies, who all act like they're the final word on every project, and none of whom accept the blame when the hodgepodge plan fails miserably
